Author: Leigh, Tova, Binding: Hardback, Imprint: Watkins Publishing, Series: N/A, Publisher: Watkins Media, Published: 14/09/2021, Pagination: 224 pages, Classification: Biography & True Stories, Country of Publication: United Kingdom In Confessions of Narcissus, Scully suggests that our demand for narrative coherence is one of the things that makes our lives so difficult to bear, that when William Hazlitt declared, "It is we who are Hamlet", he was telling us something about Shakespeare’s universality that is worth considering: Hamlet does not just give voice to our own fears and anxieties, he also calls them into being. In this series of observations and aphorisms about literature and life, Scully makes the case that uncertainty isn't an ailment that we should necessarily try to overcome. Following in the tradition of Keats and others, uncertainty may be something that we have good cause to be more curious about, that uncertainty has artistic merit and is a state of being that we might even come to enjoy.
